      If you work for Lockheed Martin, be prepared to work until you are exhausted, and then some

      Pros

      The name recognition the company has; many opportunities if you are willing to pack up the family and move from state-to-state (not something I am willing to do)

      Cons

      HR system is not fair (management gives certain employees what they ask for while others are told that HR will not permit it); job growth is limited unless you move around; most of the jobs are in the DC Metro area; company expects you to work WAY more than 40 hours a week (and if you work in Business Development, be prepared to work at least 60 hours a week with no extra compensation)

      Great company, many oppertunities, rewarding work

      Pros

      One of the best reasons to work for Lockheed is the ability to take advantage of the numerous oppertunities. You have the option of moving horizontally accross different job functions, moving to different projects, or moving to a different location altogether. Lockheed is located all over the country and even overseas. The type of work Lockheed is involved in is diverse. The Owego facility alone specializes in project from many different industries. For those college hires there are great programs that can be taken advantage of, such as LDP, where Lockheed will help you get your masters while giving you the oppertunity to move around the company to find what you like.

      Cons

      Lockheed is a large company that can seem overwhelming at times. It is easy to feel lost at the company unless you put forth extra effort to stand out. It's also an older traditional type company where managers believe that people need to put time in before they are rewarded. One major downside is the overall "slowness" of the company. When I started, it took management several moneth before I had enough work to occupy 40 hours a week. However, once you start getting work, overtime is common. Work on projects also tends to be slow moving because of all the government involvement. The US government isn't always the most cooperative of customers.

      Not the worst place to be, but much room for improvement exists.

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large company tends to have larger fringe benefits. Location is amazing (especially if you live relatively close). Many varied opportunities are apparently available, but sometimes it's difficult to move to other jobs within the company depending on your current manager's need to keep you.

      Cons

      Reviews seem canned and do not seem to affect your raises, despite what is told to you by management. Benefits are on a major slide - even more so than similar companies. Internal project leadership (from a technical standpoint) can be lacking, sometimes due to a "leader by default" mentality.
